 Great Guide Inside!! December 11, 2005
3 out of 10 found this review helpful
This book is really useful. However, the problem wih Lonely Planet in general is that you need to buy he most updated version everytime because things change and the lonely planet people know this. And they keep updating it.
Luckyly this edition is the newest one because it has the wedding of prince of denmark in it which is pretty recent.
All in all this is an excellent bok!
 Good Overview September 6, 2005

This book is really great for young people seeing Europe on a tight budget, as the title suggests. It is also suitable for families as it gives hotel and camping options in addition to hostels. One of my favorite aspects of it are the quick tips, which are very useful, and the mini history lessons for each country. The book also includes how to say basic words (hello, goodbye, please, thank you) in each language as well as a little phrase book in the back. The book is incredibly helpful in planning trips because it also gives a suggested daily budget and whether or not a visa is needed to enter a country.
However, since it highlights so many countries, it is not ideal if you are staying mostly in one country. None of the sections go very in depth on the small towns in each country. For most travellers, that is not a problem. If you are staying in a country for a semester or a year though, you might want to also buy a book specific to where you are.
Just what I needed! August 9, 2005

Contains almost every info I'd like to know. Because it covers so many countries/cities, it missed a few details that I thought should be included. But overall, I'd say this is more than enough as a survival guide in Europe!
A "must" for every money-conscious European tourist June 6, 2005

For those who feel that a trip to Europe would simply be beyond their means, Europe On A Shoestring: Big Trips On Small Budgets is a 1324-page travel guide that lives up to its title. Packed cover-to-cover with itineraries, a practical directory, easy-to-use maps, an expanded index, recommended sights and activities, and so much more, Europe On A Shoestring focuses both on seeing the best Europe has to offer and on keeping costs down to an affordable level, from eating and sleeping cheap to affordable festivals and wonderful cultural activities. Covering nations from Morocco, Spain and Portugal to Turkey, Greece and Cyprus, Finland, Sweeden and Norway, Iceland, Ireland, the United Kingcom, Belarus, the Ukraine, and of course all the countries located in between, Europe On A Shoestring is a "must" for every money-conscious European tourist.
Brief, accurate and useful April 20, 2005

This is the most useful guide for budget travel in Europe. As it covers all of Europe in one book it is quite brief but every little bit written inside is useful. I would recommend this guide to anyone travelling to more than a couple countries in Europe. If you only plan to travel to one or two countries then buying a country specific guide is a better idea. But for longer trips this is the one.
